Create phone app with buttons to execute command on remote server

Service Studio Version

Hi all,

Complete newbie to Outsystems, so looking to see if someone can point me in the right direction.

Im trying to create an app, which runs natively on my device with a couple of buttons. Each button should link to an external PHP script, which in turn updates a JSON file. 

I can do the layout of the app etc, but Im completely stuck as to where to add the URL to the buttons. 

I wonder if anyone reading this can help direct what I should be doing. 

Many many thanks,

Simon

Hi Simon,

You can create Rest API and host into remote server. You can consume rest API in OutSystems to communicate with external system or remote server.

For consuming rest api in OutSystems, please follow the below link -

Thanks

Thanks Vinod! That was exactly what I was looking for. 
Looked up the link you sent, figured it out (eventually) and there it is...it works. 

Thankyou so much for your time to help.

Cheers

Simon
